Outlook for US-EU Relations Under the Obama Administration -- with EU Ambassador John Bruton

The Honorable John Bruton, former Irish Prime Minister and current EU Ambassador to the United States, joins the Council to discuss the future of EU-US relations and the prospect for a more outward-looking and engaged transatlantic partnership.
